Which complication is that for the date? Mine looks different if I select it.

Having just looked at an iFixit guide to replace the battery, it does seem rather involved. I do like the idea though so I’ll definitely consider it, I hadn’t thought of it before since I’m so used to Apple making things very difficult/impossible to change!

 

So my 2017 MacBook seems to be on its last legs, the battery is just randomly dying between 15-30% so I’d like a new laptop. I do enjoy macOS as I have an iPhone but I’m fascinated by Linux and love the community surrounding it. Hence, I’ll probably buy a Framework 13 since I love the values of the company and their commitment to repairability and being honest when there’s problems.

I’ll be at uni for the next two years so realistically I just need it to last that long. I study cyber security so my workload is effectively some networking software (Wireshark, packet tracer etc.) and some smaller coding/web development tasks so I don’t need the absolute most powerful option. Ideally I’d like the one that got a longer battery life, which I think is the Ryzen 7. Given that I’ve never used an AMD CPU in my life, does AMD work well in Linux (distro will probably be Fedora or Mint) or would opting for the Intel COU be a safer bet?

Sorry if the formatting isn’t the greatest, I’m on mobile and it’s also midnight as I write this.
